enna Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Rather than continually judging ourselves, we can learn to treat ourselves with kindness, a sense of common humanity, and mindfulness when considering our perceived inadequacies. On Oct. 3, Kristin Neff shows us how to be present with greater ease during the inevitable struggles of life with "Self-Compassion and Emotional Resilience." http://ow.ly/S7UoX Live WEBCAST also available. http://ow.ly/S7Uqi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I really miss the dialogue we used to have here. It seems like I'm the only one posting anymore. Maybe it is time I stop and stop posting in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyT Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Oh Anne, I hope you will continue posting in this thread! I've a feeling that more of us read and appreciate what you share with us here than you may realize. Just take a look at the number of views this thread has generated, compared to some of the others! ♥ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 We do. I just don't have much to say about meditation, but I always read what you write, and I always click on your links and if I don't have time to listen to them right then, I do later. I personally would really really miss your posts if you stopped. You are one of the most valuable contributors we have! I'm sorry, I should give you more feedback, I tend to respond more to the new ones that are in dire crisis. I value and appreciate you so much, Anne! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enna Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Many of the things I post are from others who have led me to helpful meditations. My sharing is because I have found a value in what I post. Many things I have been drawn to are because of what others have posted. I would not know about mindfulness or guided imagery or people like Francis Weller or Sharon Salzberg or Belleruth or Karen Wyatt or Kelly Buckley or Tara Brach, or Pema Chödrön or the Dalia Lama or Jack Kornfield or too many others to name.

enna Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 This is what I watched during a short meditation tonight. It is best to watch it full screen and good for focusing on your breath only. Enjoy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibwxzxER_pY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 If I could only wake up each day and pray this prayer ~ So, I typed it out and taped it on my mirror in my bathroom. The Dalai Lama on How to Start Your Day Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 She, Darcie Sims, has been gone for awhile, but her words still resonate with me. I love her idea and reasons why for living in a basement during January. It's short talk but worth a listen. http://webtalkradio.net/internet-talk-radio/2014/01/06/good-mourning-the-many-faces-of-grief-surviving-the-post-holiday-letdown-depression-and-grief/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Every once in a while, I take a day to stay home and reflect on who I am and where I'm going as I transform into a different me. Part two of the Reach Approach (part one is above) is repeating affirmations to make them part of my positive approach to daily life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 DAILY MEDITATION Community Supported by Solitude January 22 Photo courtesy of SDGImagery.com Solitude greeting solitude, that's what community is all about. Community is not the place where we are no longer alone but the place where we respect, protect, and reverently greet one another's aloneness. When we allow our aloneness to lead us into solitude, our solitude will enable us to rejoice in the solitude of others. Our solitude roots us in our own hearts. Instead of making us yearn for company that will offer us immediate satisfaction, solitude makes us claim our center and empowers us to call others to claim theirs. Our various solitudes are like strong, straight pillars that hold up the roof of our communal house. Thus, solitude always strengthens community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enna Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 DAILY MEDITATION Choosing Joy January 30 Photo courtesy of SDGimagery.com Joy is what makes life worth living, but for many joy seems hard to find. They complain that their lives are sorrowful and depressing. What then brings the joy we so much desire? Are some people just lucky, while others have run out of luck? Strange as it may sound, we can choose joy. Two people can be part of the same event, but one may choose to live it quite differently than the other. One may choose to trust that what happened, painful as it may be, holds a promise. The other may choose despair and be destroyed by it. What makes us human is precisely this freedom of choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I so wholeheartedly agree with that statement! I know many cannot see it, but if only they could CHOOSE JOY TODAY they would see that it is so. Even in the midst of sorrow and pain...in fact, ESPECIALLY in the midst of sorrow and pain, it is key that we choose to acknowledge joy in our lives.
